Te’vîlâtü’l-Kur’ân ile Keşşâf Tefsirlerinin Nesh Açısından Mukayesesi

Naskh (abrogation) is one of the important notions in ‘Ul ū m al-Qur'ān (the Qur’ānic sciences) that emerged for the purpose of explaining, preserving and interpreting the Qur’ ā n. Naskh was one of the early controversial topics in Islamic sciences and has been discussed in detail by almost every mufassir (the writer of a commentary on the Qur’ ā n ). Abrogation has been subject to many academic studies until today. In this study, we compared Ta’wīlātu'l-Qur’ān by Imām al-Māturīdī (D. 333 AH /944 CE) and  al-Kashshāf by al-Zamakhsharī (D. 538 AH/1144 CE) in terms of their manner of discussing naskh. As a result of this comparison, it has been concluded that both works sufficiently and deeply evaluated the subject matter and each of them proved their proficiency in their exegesis on the Qur’ ā n . Furthermore, while giving place to the views of the former commentators in the tradition, Imām al-Māturīdī and al-Zamakhsharī also expressed their own arguments. Even though they seem to be similar in embracing naskh, they vary primarily in evaluating the narratives by various mufassirs and especially in the way they used the sources which constitute the basis of naskh.
